Course benefits:
The right team is a powerful tool. The combination of the right people,
in the right place, at the right time and with the right attitude leads
to greater effectiveness and efficiency for the team and for the organisation.
But this does not just happen by itself. The supervisor needs to know
exactly what criteria to apply when recruiting and be able to execute
appropriate and consistent selection procedures, all the time avoiding
conflict with current employment legislation.

and shows how to avoid bias in the process. It does not cover psychometric
testing.
